March Birchbox: Spring Training

This month, Birchbox sent out an email giving members the option to
chose a Vogue Teen Birchbox instead of the regular one. I decided to go
with the regular one, and I'm not disappointed! I've seen some posts
of the Vogue Teen box and nothing wrong with it either, so I guess it
would have been a win-win either way.

With the exception of the Stila eye shadows, I have not tried any of the other products. I like receiving products I'm not familiar with, the discovery aspect is quite fun. This month also did not include any perfume samples, which was a plus. Commercial perfumes by and large just aren't doing it for me anymore, although I guess I could be pleasantly surprised at some point.

Here are the items included in my box, along with the descriptions provided on the enclosed card:

Grandma Stelle's Refreshing Hand Soap: This moisturizing hand wash has a winning citrus scent and leaves skin super soft. I do like the scent, which is listed as verbana thyme on the bottle.

Traditions by Nick Chavez Yucca Root Shampooing Cream: Hollywood stylists rave about the restorative abilities of this silky cleanser, which is made with fortifying wild yam and yucca root.

Color Club Nail Lacquer in Lava Lamp: Brighten nails with this on-trend neon orange polish. This will make a great summer pedicure color!

The Lifestyle Extra include in this month's box are Kusmi Tea Detox Tea, a detoxifying blend of mate, green tea, and lemongrass. I drink tea during the day at work and look forward to trying these out.

stila Smoky Eye Card: Take the guesswork out of matcing eye makeup with this mini-palette.

The value of this box was approximately $17. I think it included a nice variety of items, all of which I will use.

About me: I enjoy reviewing the makeup and beauty products I buy as well as reading reviews from others. Skincare concerns: oily/congested, aging, and sun damage. Fortunately, the semi-tropical climate and humidity of where I live helps me from looking like the crypt keeper, in spite of all those years soaking up the sun :-) So let's talk skincare and makeup and anything else that strikes our fancy.
